Back From the Land of the Lost

Holy neglected Blog Batman! I have been so busy at the new job I haven't even had time to think about posting.. but I'm getting faster every day and though I'll probably never have the time I used to mess around with this, I will get to the point that I can at least keep it somewhat updated.

Here is a pic of our Sentinel... keeping watch over his subjects below....

Eric went skiing with Tommy and I on Saturday for his last lesson for the season. It was snowing and sticking in his beard.. I couldn't get a great pic of it, but check out how much of a snow monster he is!



Hmmmm so what else is new? Well, last Friday Nanuk busted out of the room (again...) and got up on the counters, got them all muddy and ate all of our bagels, english muffins and loaf of bread that we had on the counter. These types of occurrences, as well as other property damaging incidents, happen frequently. This happened to be the last straw for Eric. He was really angry, which is unusual for my normally sweet and patient lover, and wanted to get rid of Nanuk. I, of course, broke down in tears and pleaded his case. For compromise, we decided to always chain him up every time we leave the house... good for a temporary fix, but the problem is this: his naughtiness simply can't be contained so easily. Everywhere you put him outside, and believe me there have been numerous spots, gets thoroughly destroyed. So we've taken to putting him in the very back of the yard which he has turned into his personal mud wallow. Which means that when you bring him in it takes 10 minutes of scrubbing to render him acceptable... sort of, he's still pretty muddy. And it gets me all dirty in the morning before work and also makes me late. So this weekend we are planning on buying him a dog run... I'm sure it'll be trial and error to get it to actually work for us, everything with him is. But I think that we can make it work. Also I am surprising Eric on Sunday by taking him skiing at the Canyons (free radio passes) and to Ruth's Chris Steak House at Hotel Park City (gift cert from Eric's mom), should be fun. Have a great Valentine's weekend all...
